With IPL Season 4 every one seems to be busy in T20 Cricket fever but people who follow Australia cricket enjoyed a splendid performance by Shane Watson against Bangladesh. His inning of 185 runs in just 96 balls that includes 15 sixes and 15 fours knocked down every bangladeshi baller in their second one-day cricket International in Mirpur.
Watson’s record setting outing was also market by him scoring the most runs from boundaries in a one-day match, and the combination of he and Ricky Ponting (37) totalled 170 – and even more amazingly Watson was NOT OUT. Australia got to 232/1 with 144 balls remaining for one of the most amazing innings in cricket history. About the only thing Bangladesh won was the coin toss yesterday.

Watson’s record setting outing was also market by him scoring the most runs from boundaries in a one-day match, and the combination of he and Ricky Ponting (37) totalled 170 – and even more amazingly Watson was NOT OUT. Australia got to 232/1 with 144 balls remaining for one of the most amazing innings in cricket history. About the only thing Bangladesh won was the coin toss yesterday.
Bangladesh batted first, reaching 229-7 for 50 overs. The lead tandem of Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes, got out for 5, being caught by Watson. Teamate Mushfiqur Rahim ended 81 not out, and Shahriar Nafees added 56, but those were the only bright spots in an otherwise dismal day for Bangladesh. It’s funny no one asked what it was like being on the other end of a shellacking like that?
Watson’s amazing feat topped West Indies’ Xavier Marshall, the previous record-holder, who smashed an amazing 12 sixes against Canada in 2008. Watson’s most runs (150) via boundaries broke South African Herschelle Gibbs’ previous record of 126 by 24. Of course, Watson was named “man of the match” – Watson was characteristically humble when talking to reporters about his soon to be legendary feat; “It was a nice day today as everything came off.” A nice day indeed.
Watson started off with a bang in the very first over hitting three fours, and then raced to his half century in only 26 balls. The third and final one day event is scheduled for today at Shere Bangla National Stadium. What will Watson have for Bangladesh today? This has to be on everyone’s mind at the moment. But, from Everything PR News, we congratulate Shane on an astounding effort. WOW – 15 Sixes! That’s up there with Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 point game.
Shane Watson hit 15 sixes in a career-best 185 not out as Australia played against Bangladesh with a nine-wicket win in the second one-dayer on April 11, 2011. The explosive opener Shane watson gave a superb display of power-hitting as he also cracked 15 fours in his 96-ball knock to help Australia achieve a 230-run target with 24 overs to spare for an unbeatable 2-0 lead. Shane watson completed his sixth one-day hundred off just 69 balls, the third-fastest by an Australia after Hayden (66 balls) and Gilchrist (67 balls). The final one-dayer Shane watson will be played in Dhaka on April 13, 2011 (Wednesday).
Shane Robert Watson is an Australian cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-handed fast medium bowler. He mainly bats as an opener in international cricket, although he does not do so domestically. Watson played in the Indian Premier League for the Rajasthan Royals team. Signed up for US $125,000, he performed well with both the bat and the ball scoring four half-centuries to anchor his team to victory in three matches of the tournament and in the semifinals. He also picked up 17 wickets, won four man of the match awards in his first twelve games and also won the Man of the Series award.
On the back of his IPL performance, Watson was subsequently selected to replace Matthew Hayden in the one day series as part of Australia’s tour to the West Indies, after Hayden had injured himself during the IPL season. Watson went on to establish himself as an ODI opener in the series.
Watson missed the second IPL season due to national duty and injury, and Rajasthan failed to reach the top four in the qualifying rounds. For 2011 season, Rajasthan Royals successfully retained Shane Watson along with the skipper Shane Warne.
